I am a grandfather, father, and teacher with 40 years experience, elementary to high school. I thoroughly enjoy watching my grandchild participate in BAMA.We want our children to be successful, to grow in a healthy environment; we want our children to be challenged, and to have fun. The Bay Area Martial Arts staff provides all these aspects. They love to teach, they know their material, and deliver with passion and compassion.Thank you, BAMA staff.

Our daughter has learned valuable mixed martial arts training and life skills. She is more disciplined, confident and focused. I recommend Sensei Adrian and the entire BAMA staff.

We have been a part of the dojo family for 8 years and it has been a great learning experience, both mentally and physically. My son is determined to earn a black belt and applies 'black-belt' excellence in and out of the dojo. You will notice long time students behaved, ambitious and confident that learn to preservere... many give back and end-up helping teach the little ones. As Sensei says, "A black belt is a white belt that never quits!"

This place is awesome. My 4.5 year old attends the early skillz level at BAMA and he loves it. He’s been learning fundamentals like kicking, punching and blocking all while practicing patience and perseverance with his peers. The instructors do a great job at making it fun while teaching discipline. If it were up to my kid, we’d come here every day. I love seeing the big smile on his face at every lesson, how proud he is when he earns his stripes each week, and his excitement about advancing to the next belt color. We’ll be coming here a long time!

Our 5 year old son (and us parents) absolutely love Bay Area Martial Arts. The staff is incredibly positive with the kids and have created environment where kids learn respect, martial arts and have fun at the same time. Scheduling is easy and we love that we can come multiple times per week and love the various camp offerings. We didn't think it could get better but just completed a b-day party where all 25 kids had an incredible time learning martial arts, swords and light saber fighting techniques. Our son is still talking about how he broke a board....Well done team BAMA!
